INTRODUCTION
South Sudan Oil & Power / POWER SECTOR IN SOUTH SUDANHon. LAWRENCE LOKU MO’YU, Undersecretary, Ministry of Energy and Dams
INTRODUCTION
South Sudan is an immensely large
expanse of land with a small population
scattered in communities separated
by hundreds of kilometers
99%of the population
still has no access to modern energies,and electricity in
particular.
83%of the
South Sudanese population livesin rural areas.

INTRODUCTION
The main challenge facing the electricity sector is not only limited to weak power generation and distribution systems, but also low per capita consumption of 1 – 3
kWh. Hence, South Sudan is classified as the most underdeveloped country, not
only in the region, but in the world.
Despite this, South Sudan is rich in minerals and hydropower potential
that can be developed to generate reliable and affordable electricity to provide basic services to its citizens
and cheap power for economic development.

STATUS OF ELECTRICITY SUPPLY IN SOUTH SUDAN
Decentralized grids are unreliable and diesel generation is very expensive.
Wau
• Installed Capacity: 5MW • Operational: 2MW • Customers: 2600
Malakal
• Installed Capacity: 9.5MW • Operational: 5MW • Customers: 4000
Juba
• Installed Capacity: 17MW • Operational: 4.5MW • Customers: 8000

Maridi
1.2 MW
Yei
Kapoeta
Isolated Distribution Networks & Mini-Grids CURRENT ELECTRIFICATION
Only 1% of South Sudan’s population has access to electricity
No interconnected transmission grid.Electricity sector comprised of:• Commercial centers networks: Juba, Malakal, Wau• Rural mini-grids: Yei, Kapoeta, Maridi
Customers are upper-income residential andsome businesses
Industry and business relies on self-generationwith diesel generators.
Remaining population relies on firewood/biomass for energy
Renewable energy supply is not yet tapped

DEMAND FOR ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE ELECTRICITY IN SOUTH SUDAN OUTSTRIPS SUPPLY IN MAJOR CITIES AND
IS POISED TO GROW IN RURAL AREAS

Growth of electricity sector suppressed by supply,not demand.
Demand for electricity is expected to increase 7-8%per annum based on the economic growth rates.
Per capita electricity consumption is 1-3 kWh.
Consideration of gradual tariff increase to match generation cost is underway.
Geeration Cost 0.70/kWhCurrent Tariff $0.45/kWh (subsidized)

KEY ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSEDTHE GOVERNMENT HAS PRIORITIZED THE DEVELOPMENT OF POWER GENERATION
AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS.
DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES
Government priorities will be achieved through effective private sector participation,public-private partnerships and public sector initiatives guided by proper master planning.
Increase generation capacity through implementation of planned projects and proposed new sources
of power generation.
Build new transmission lines and substations(National Grid)
Mobilize financial resources for electricity projects,especially those linked to economic activities,
such as mining and industry.
Invest in regional interconnection,including the East Africa Power Pool (EAPP),
to access wider power market.
Develop, expand and reinforce generation anddistribution networks in the state capitals.
Support rural electrification by off-gridrenewable energy sources.

GRAND FULA HYDROPOWER PROJECT
The Grand Fula Hydropower Project is a priority of the MED. It is easy to develop, and its power is enough to meet the development needs of South Sudan in the short term.
This picture shows how the River Nile enters the Republic of South Sudan at ninety degrees from the western side of Uganda.
Its hydro power potential has not yet been tapped.
This is a priority long term project.
Feasibility study has been conducted by Consultant SMEC, but the FS documents have not been handed to the MED due to non -payment to the Consultant.

OFF-GRID AND RENEWABLE ENERGYDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
South Sudan experiences approximately 12 hours of
sunshine per day year-round — Solar radiation is 4.0 – 6.0
KWh/m²/day.
The Government encourages the use of solar power,
especially in rural areas.
There is a potential forsmall-scale Photo-voltage (PV) installations to serve schools,
health centres, irrigation projects and businesses.
The Ministry plans to investigate energy diversification, specifically renewable energyto supplement thermal power generation.

OFF-GRID AND RENEWABLE ENERGYDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
The Government is hoping to attract investors to restart two large-scale sugar and co-generation projects at
Melut and Mangalla; and a large-scale oil-palm
mill and co-generation plant at Anzara.
There is a potential for larger scale solar-thermal power plants.
Given favourable conditions for agricultural production, there is
significant potential for combined food production and
biomass-based power generation projects in various parts of the
country.
The Government is also interested in proposals for urban waste-to-power projects in Juba and other
major towns.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Boththe medium-and
long-term plans of theMED can be achieved through
effective private sector participation, public–private
partnerships and public sector initiatives, guided by proper
energy masterplanning.
Recognizing the hydropower potential in South Sudan, there
is a necessity to pursue regional cooperation and regional power trade opportunities.
Renewable energy is a viable option for rural electrification.
Nevertheless, without government subsidy, it is unaffordable to the majority of the rural
population.

CONCLUSION REMARKS
Despite the abundant resources available for power generation, the
energy sector requires adequate funding in the form of investments to enable South Sudan to develop its energy
infrastructure to achieve a reliable and cheap power supply to meet its
socio-economic and development needs.
The high costs of energy in South Sudan can be reduced through
development of cheaper energy resources i.e. hydropower resources

CONCLUSION REMARKS
It must be emphasized that the success of the South Sudan Development Plan, now and to a large extent in the future,
is dependent on the availability of electricity.
.For energy security, the energy sector in this sub-region should be provided with adequate political and financial support for implementation of the national development programs.
